2006 was my first year as an LVN/LPN, and I did not even work during the month of January since my temporary license arrived in early February. I earned about $47,000 last year with some overtime. My base pay rate was $18.50 last year, but I have since gotten a raise. By the way, I am in Texas.

I can only speak for NorCal, but you would be hard-pressed to find an LVN job that paid UNDER $40,000

Whoa, I'm feeling underpaid.:o LOL:lol2: Been a nurse 13 years and base is only 18.15/hour. Yes, I do make >50,000/year but I pull call for Emergency room and I work a 96/hour pay period with some overtime days.

But, anyhoo, Way to go for the LPNs with great base pay. !!!:monkeydance:

I live on Long Island in NY and Im still in school for my LPN but I was hoping someone could shed some light on what I can expect salary wise and employment wise when I graduate. I am receiving alot of mixed opinions here.

Holy Poopers! I'm an LPN in Georgia at a hospital. I work 72 hours plus a pay period (bi-weekly) and my base rate is 15.30:madface:. I'm about to get a big 40 cent raise:lol2:. I would imagine that LTAC would make better, however, I love what I'm learning on the floor. So I guess I'll just keep working toward my RN online.

Hey, Kudos!!! to those how are making really good! Stay proud!

Definitely in the Bay Area, CA. I grossed $61,000 as a LVN back in 2005 at $24/hr and TONS of overtime and doubles. But also my rent was $1200 per month for a 2bd apartments which is typical for my area. So it depends on where you live. Salary usually coincides with the cost of living for that particular area.
